Hellbound: Hellraiser II [Blu-ray]

Overview

After her harrowing experiences in Hellraiser, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley J. Laurence) is a patient in a mental hospital under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham). Although outwardly calm, the demonic doctor unlocks the door to hell when he figures out the Lament Configuration. After he brings Kirsty's evil stepmother Julia (Claire Higgins) back from the dead, Kirsty, fellow patient Tiffany (Imogen Boorman), the evil doctor, and Kristy's stepmother all descend into the depths of hell. They battle the evil flesh-eating villains known as the Cenobites in this blood-and-guts gorefest. Kirsty hopes she can rescue her father from spending eternity in hell.

Editorial Reviews

Hellbound: Hellraiser II picks up after the carnage of Clive Barker's first film to find Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) in the hospital, encountering the expected skeptical reaction from her psychiatrist (Kenneth Cranham) to her tales of supernatural encounters as she plots to rescue her now-deceased father from his sufferings in hell. The Cenobites appear again, of course, and Higgins reprises her role as Kirsty's stepmother. There are also some stunning views of the netherworld opened up by the puzzle box; the dreamlike imagery is alternately gruesome and beautiful, but always compelling.
